A loss...

When I snapped out of my recent bad habits, it was Tuesday last week, and I worked out it was exactly 3 weeks to Christmas, so I have decided to weigh in on Tuesdays to try and get back to goal for then (with Jenn). So today's weigh in, even with particularly bad TTOM bloat, is a loss of 1.5kg, which leaves me 2.5 kg to lose for the next two weeks. So its doable, at least I believe it is!! I do understand it won't be easy as it gets closer to Xmas... but I am willing to take the challenge on and do my best. Feeling very positive at the moment!

Is a pattern developing?

I seem to desert my blog when I put on weight... not that surprising really! No one likes confessing their sins. Except when you are ready to put it behind you and get on with things. Which correlates with me returning to my blog :) So my slip up this time was associated with my birthday/enagagement revellery (read binging) that I wasn't particularly quick to end. That is such an awful word, binging. But it's an awful truth, that I still binge occasionally. I wish I knew why. In an effort to try and test why I binge, I am going to start introducing regular small treats eg small glass of red wine, few squares of good dark chocolate (still contributing something to my nutrition!!). This is to see whether or not the reason why I binge is because I feel deprived and "too good" all the time. I'll let you know how I go.

Anyway, this post is sounding a bit solemn, when actually I am feeling fabulous! I am back on track (with the help of Jenn's lovely emails :)) with my food and exercise, I have started running again (yay!!!), I have an MP3 player so I have downloaded lots of inspiration tunes for my workouts, and this weekend my fiance and I have made some very relieving life decisions! I have been a bit worried about finances, and we have decided to put certain things on hold, so we can improve our financial situation, so we can choose what direction to move in next. All sounds a bit cryptic... it will be revealed in time :)
